Constructed in 1938 to serve as the president's private retreat, Top Cottage - Home of Franklin D Roosevelt is located in a rural part of Hyde Park. It was designed by Roosevelt himself, who wanted it to accommodate his needs for wheelchair accessibility, and he often used it to entertain his close friends and political allies. The original furnishings no longer exist, but the cottage has been furnished with antiques and replicas that match the original contents. The cottage is open to visitors between early May and late October, and guided tours are offered three times a day Monday through Friday.
